Alta Plaza Preschool

Our Mission and Philosophy

At Alta Plaza Preschool, we believe that children learn best through play and exploration. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment that fosters a lifelong love of learning, creativity, and self-discovery. We are committed to addressing the holistic needs of children, focusing on their individual, social, emotional, and educational development.

Our Play-Based Curriculum

Our play-based curriculum is designed to stimulate children's natural curiosity and creativity. We recognize that children are active, sensory learners who thrive on opportunities for exploration, social interaction, and problem-solving. Our teachers are dedicated to providing the necessary time, materials, and thoughtful guidance to support children in their play-based exploration.

Our Program Structure

Our program is structured into three years, each with its unique focus and objectives. The three programs are:

Year 1: Yellow Ducks

In our Yellow Duck year, catering to ages 2 to 3, we facilitate a pivotal transition period. Here, our primary emphasis lies on nurturing social and emotional skills alongside language development. This phase serves as a gentle introduction to the school environment for our youngest learners, providing ample opportunities for them to engage with their peers.

Year 2: Red Roosters

The Red Rooster Year 2 program, tailored for ages 3 to 4, prioritizes fostering independence while nurturing language and social interaction skills, and laying the groundwork for pre-academic pursuits. Central to our approach is a robust emphasis on language development, achieved through various avenues including oral exchanges, phonemic awareness activities, comprehension exercises, and vocabulary expansion.

Year 3: Blue Birds

Our Blue Bird program, designed for ages 4 to 5, focuses on developing essential skills in communication, cognitive, and physical development, and social interaction. We emphasize the importance of self-awareness, accountability, and creative problem-solving, guiding children as they navigate both success and failure. By experiencing these highs and lows, children emerge more resilient, perseverant, creative, and self-reliant individuals.
